LIFEJACKET

Show Notes

In episode 9 of The Rail, Fenners is joined by singer-songwriter JP Cooper , who brings in his current starting eleven. A line-up shaped by years on the road, personal taste, and a clear appreciation for craftsmanship.The selection features pieces from C.P. Company, Private White V.C., YMC and more, blending heritage workwear with modern staples. JP talks about his love for fashion, spending time searching out vintage shops in new cities, and earlier days of picking up random pieces from charity shops with mates and heading out in outfits that probably made more sense at the time.As well as a standout moment involving a visit to a Nigel Cabourn show, a conversation about overalls that led to JP being gifted an unreleased piece that never made it into production.Away from the jackets, music naturally takes centre stage. Known for tracks like September Song and his collaboration with Jonas Blue, JP reflects on his journey as an artist and the release of his latest album Just A Few Folk. The conversation touches on creativity, evolution and what it means to keep things personal in an industry that rarely stands still.What’s making your current starting eleven? Could you narrow it down to just one jacket?LIFEJACKET. Conversation keeps us afloat.
